Now for something not so cuddly but helluva fun

This is rather interesting, I had set out to gather all the coolest movie gadget cars of all time looking high and low and the results were somewhat surprising or unsurprising. Despite an extensive Google search, there are only two dudes that had really cool cars that stands the test of time, James Bond and Batman with two other notables. Naturally this also hints at my fav topic, definitely not Burberry..

Some automobiles I really like,

Aston Martin DB5 1964
equipped with machine guns, oil dispenser, smoke screen, bullet-proof shields, ejector seat, wheel hub tire slasher blades, revolving number licence plates, homing/tracking device. The original gadget car.

Lotus Esprit 1977
transforms into a submarine, equipped with a rear liquid concrete sprayer and underwater and sea-to air missile launchers. Kinky

Aston Martin V8 Vantage 1989
bullet-proof glass, fireproof body, guided missiles, jet engine booster rocket, convertible ice tires, snow skis hidden in door sills, laser-cutting device in wheel hubs and self-destruct mechanism. First and only time, 1985 I think, I heard one started in a underground garage i went Oh My God! what car is that. remember a 5000 CC v8 in land of 1300cc cars is SOMETHING to hear!

Maybe tell me your fav?

Comments:
You've covered almost everything there is... I personally like the Aston Martins in James Bond's movies (and in some, BMWs, too - except the ugly Z3).

To come up with someone *not* mentioned in your post... May I say... Herbie?
Yes, the white Volkswagen Beetle that's got a life of its own! It could be almost as intelligent as the Batmobile or Knight Rider, but Herbie doesn't require all that tech. Haha!
 
*something (not someone)
 
Man, you left out Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!! LOL.. ok, well, maybe that ain't that all cool, but it could fly!
 
I can see, you are very free to search... :-)

My fave - Batmobile 1989. Was that Val Kilmer in the Batman show?
 
narrowband Welcome! Herbie, The Love Bug! just in time for Valentines....

l b alamak completely forgot about ole Chitty, but I must say (spoken with a stiff upper english accent) it's a bloody good looking car, I always had a soft spot for classic open wheelers

Mother S Jiak Pa Bor Tai Chee Jor (hokkien) :P not easy you know searching for these, the 89 Bat car is Micheal Keaton's, The Val Kilmer one was so ugly I dare not put it here......

Jomel *sees Jomel in mini dress posing next to the Aston, drool* :D
 
Oh yes, Michael Keaton. Always with dried lips.

I didn't think Batmobile 2005 was cool either. So much like a tank. But I like Morgan Freeman's eager eyes when he presented the Batmobile though.
